There is no confusion if every game can work on every model. It's like saying people couldn't understand the N64 RAM expansion. Saying you need a battery pack for certain games is the simplest and cheapest "hardware upgrade" in the history of gaming. 

Expansion pack was required to run 3 games, and one of those games was sold with it. And you are not saying it'll work on every model, you are saying it'll work on the new models and won't work portable in the older models. Saying you can run a game on a TV but can't in portable mode unless you have a battery pack is very confusing and would guaranteed to be highly unpopular among players. New 3DS had what 5 or less games that couldn't run on older versions, N64 had 2 games that didn't have the expansion pack bundled in that couldn't run without it. So no, not gonna happen. Terrible optics, terrible marketing, would play terrible with the userbase, and a terrible cheap idea overall.

Being able to enjoy modern popular titles for only $15 more versus spending $300-$400 on an entirely new piece of hardware isn't bad optics if you ask me. 

You're getting access to games you wouldn't have otherwise for a tiny marginal cost. RAM pak on the N64 would be a joke by comparison.
